Hey guys, I dont know about any of you, but I am sure as hell getting a little antsy about the UCSC program. Has anyone heard anything back from them and if so how? Quite honestly I would really just like an answer one way or another so I can accept one of the offers that has been made to me already and start planning for the program, moving, etc.... If you have heard something back please let me know. There have only been a few posts about UCSC on the results page and they were all posted on feb 23-24, but nothing has been posten since. Thanks a lot guys.

No news back from UCSC yet for me... Suppose thats probably not a good thing! HAHAHA! When did you hear from them? Well, I got an acceptance to UC Riverside and Im pretty happy about that, though UCSC would be a freaking dream come true. To be quite honest at this point I just want to hear back one way or another. Im not really hung up on getting accepted at UCSC, though Id like to. Perhaps after a month and a half since my first acceptance Ive just gone through such an emotional rollercoaster that it tired me out to the point that I just gave up on waiting! Anyways, thanks for the heads up about the status update from UCSC. Ill keep an eye on my email today.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips. Checked the status and no acceptance! Oh well, not the end of the world. I was already accepted to Riverside and Im waiting on UCSC still. If anyone hears anything on UCSC be sure to post. Thanks again and congrats to everyone who got in to Arizona.

By the way UNCanthro. You sound like a total badass dude. What an awesome research focus! For future reference, my name is Robert Finch and I study spatial praxis and movement, though I have a background in political ecology and ethnobotanical studies, as well as being cross-trained in archaeology. Hope I get to hear about your research someday man. Good luck with everything brother!

So is anyone on here culturally focused? This is my focus for both UCSC and for U of A. I saw that a bunch of archaeology candidates were accepted or rejected over the past few days, but I have yet to hear anything about cultural. I logged in to the application website through the department, where you initially submit the anthro application, and it says updated March 9th. Before this it hadnt been updated since January 10th, however nothing had changed. My status was still the same, Submitted, received... Also they spelled received wrong; "recieved"! HAHAHAHA! Thought that was kind of funny. Anyways, is this where you would go to check the status? As far as UCSC I have yet to her anything from them either. I emailed Tsing a few days ago about Bruno Latour and her work concerning ANT, and she responded fairly quickly, but I negelected to ask her about the process since she is on leave. I did email the graduate college at UCSC and inquired about the time frame and process, but all I got in return was a rather generic email explaining that departments were currently making decisions and I should hear back from them in the next few weeks. I also decided against emailing the department based on the "dont email the department" bolded section under the application portion of their website. I wont lie though, I was tempted! Hahhah! By the way... congrats to those who have been accepted and I hope everyone else out there gets in somewhere. One opportunity lost means another one gained, right? Ill keep you guys posted on whatever I can find out, if/when I do.

So I applied to University of Arizona and UC Santa Cruz, but have yet to hear back from either one. I have a BA in anthro with a focus in cultural and some cross training in archaeology. 3.98 GPA, summa cum laude, honors thesis project, numerous conference presentations,etc....GRE scores only totaling 1120 and a 4 on the writing. Im a horrible test taker! Haha! In either case, I saw that some people had been contacted by University of Arizona for interviews. If you werent contacted by this department does this mean youre most likely not in? Arizona is a shot in the dark but would be awesome to get in there. Also I have yet to hear anything from UCSC, but there were a bunch of rejections posted here on the 23rd of Feb. Does anyone know if that means Im still in the running, or is it simply because there are so many people that have been rejected that it takes them a while to send out all of the reject letters? I read this on a forum and it freaked me out! Also, does anyone know when either of the decisions for these departments will go out?
